MARCO BENEVENTO

For an exhilarating glimpse into the future of rock piano, look no further than Brooklyn-based artist Marco Benevento. A melodically inventive musical adventurer who artfully employs pedals, amplifiers, circuit-bent toys and sundry effects around his acoustic piano set-up, Benevento has forged a fascinating repertoire of songs, including both wildly original compositions and renditions of those by the likes of Leonard Cohen, Pink Floyd and Beck. Benevento first came to national attention with the experimental electric rock influenced Benevento-Russo Duo for which he partnered with drummer Joe Russo. Together they brought a bracing jolt of improvisation into settings like Lollapalooza, Fuji Rock and Bonnaroo. On his own Benevento has collaborated with the likes of Matt Chamberlain, Mike Gordon and Reed Mathis, while also holding down keys in the bands Garage A Trois and Surprise Me Mr. Davis. Currently, Benevento’s primary focus is with his own trio and in the solo piano setting.
